Bangalore
Pros
- Held it there last year. Twice in the same city rule useful for remote delegates.
- It also helps to learn from past mistakes and smooth out any rough edges in the second year. Larger volunteer traction can be generated.
Larger team of people in Bangalore (BangPypers is more active than ChennaiPy).
- Larger number of small sponsors in Bangalore (is this really true?)
- More convenient climate and location for delegates from the North .
- If held twice in a row, its easier to negotiate contracts with vendors on the basis of repeat business.
- Bangalore weather is nicer and the initial enthusiasm from the Chennai team has slowed as September draws closer :/
Cons
- Traffic Problem.
- Accommodation, Auditorium and Food are expensive.
Chennai
Pros
High amount of enthusiasm shown by ChennaiPy and some ground work already done.
- Good student participation from Chennai last year.
Change in PyCon location would create awareness about Python in Chennai and would be helpful for college students.
Cons
- humid climate
